If you are not the person who committed the offence, under Part 3 of the Road Transport (General) Act 1999, you must take all reasonable steps to give the authority sufficient information to identify and locate the individual who was in possession or control of the vehicle at the time of the offence.

A corporation takes all reasonable steps if they provide a declaration within the time required (including any additional time granted) and the authority accepts the declaration.
